Bitrise demo apps and their bitrise.yml files

You can get a feel for Bitrise with the help of demo apps. These demo apps have sample Workflows defined in YAML format (bitrise.yml), highlighting some of the most common use cases for iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps.

You can check out the bitrise.yml files of these demo apps in their respective GitHub repositories:

Bitrise Pipelines

The React Native and Flutter apps each have a sample Pipeline containing a collection of Workflows. To read more about Pipelines, check out Build Pipelines.

Running Bitrise demo apps

You can also try running these demo apps yourself using the Bitrise UI:

  1. Log in to Bitrise.

  2. On the top menu bar, click on Getting Started.

  3. Click Run a demo app.

  4. Select a project type.

  5. Click Run selected.

That's it! You now have your very own demo app! After the build finishes, you can see for yourself how the app setup looks with the help of the Workflow Editor by clicking on the Edit Workflows button.

A Workflow is a collection of Steps, Environment Variables, and other configurations. When Bitrise starts a build, it runs one or more Workflows according to the configuration defined in the bitrise.yml file.

The bitrise.yml file stores your entire build configuration for an app. It specifies your stack and the build triggers, and defines the Workflows of the app. When you make changes on the graphical UI of our Workflow Editor, you actually modify the bitrise.yml file.

A Bitrise Pipeline is the top level of the Bitrise CI/CD configuration. Pipelines can be used to organize the entire CI/CD process and to set up advanced configurations with multiple different tasks running parallel and/or sequentially.

The Bitrise Workflow Editor allows you to edit your Workflows, configure Steps, upload files (including code signing files) and manage your app's triggers and stacks on a graphical user interface. It is available both online and offline.
